FUEL-OIL BURNER.

Beit known [that-gl, CARLr E. BIioivN, a Unitedv States, residing at in the countyof Franklin and citizen of the Columbus, Stateof Ohio, have' invented a nep7 and useis a specification.

The present invention aims to provide, in a sinip'lepmerchantable'and inexpensive form, a device, adapted/to be placed in. an ordinary cook stove, orother like structure, Without seriously mutilating the same,-.for the purpose of enabling a stove or other structure 'to burn a liquid fuel. "Specifically, 'the invention aims to pro vide an air-`receptacleof novel form, and to assemble sli'dably With' the air! receptacle,- a fuells'upply pipe,v the construction being-such that the fuel-supply pipe may be slid, Whereby its ports Will`discharge intotheair receptacle, or -upo'n the top of the receptacle for the purpose of depositing, in the latter instance, a primingv whereby the pipe may beinitially heated. f l Y Affurther object of the invention is to ful Fuel-Oil Burner, of'which the followingv ing the fuell-isupplyfp'ipe, land vto equip vthe fuel-supplypipe With deiectors which may be adjusted upon the pipe, to ass: me the `:proper positions with respect to the hot-ds 1n which combustion is vnormally effected.

With thefor'egoing and 4other objects lin view, which Will'appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination-andI arrangement of parts and in the details'of construction hereinafter described and claimed,` it' being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of invention herein disclosed can be made Within the scope of what is claimed Withoutdeparting fror' the spirit of the invention. ln the accompanying drawings,-t`igure l shows the invention in side elevation, the saine being mounted. in a sectionally-shoivn stove of ordinary construction ;4 Fig. 2 is a top plan of the device, removed from the stove; Fig. 3 is a section upon the line A-B of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a fragmental transverse section of the air receptacle, the view being diagrammatic in nature, and illustrating the ing upon the top of the air receptacle.

. In carrying out the invention there is provided an air receptacle 1, Whichmay be of any desired contour.

The air receptacle l is open at its bottom,

projects at one end beyondv the body of the receptacle, as shown at 3. The top 2 is surrounded by 'an upstanding flange 4, and adjacent the cross flange 5,the anges 4 and 5 causing protruding end 3 there is a` the top 2 to constitute a fuel-receiying vele-fv i ment, as Will be set forth'hereinafter.

In the top 2 of the'air receptacle Jthere are one or more openings, two being shoivn in .the present instance.

A bracket 7 is provided, the. same ha at its .lower end, a laterally projecting 8 united by securing elements 9 in the 2, the vfoot 8 being located to one side ofthe longitudinal center of the air receptacle -1. At its upper end, the bracket 7- terminates in a head 10, preferablyv located above the lon# gitudinal center preferably curved slightly, so as to'efl'ect 10 there is a notch'll..

i The air receptacle l may be placed upon the grate 12 of an. ordinary stove, as shown vin Fig. 1, and a. U-'sha-ped fuel-supply pipey 14 is provided, whereby the fuel may be' con-f ducted from any suitable source of supply, The fuel-supply pipe 14:l

includes a lower' branch l5 and an'upper 15,

the lower branch 15 being closed at cneen'd; Y lower branch 1.5 of the by a cap 16. The fuel-supply pipe is slidably received Within. notches .17 formed in the upper edges of the hoods 6. The' upper branch l5a of the fuel supply pipe is slidably received in the notch l1 which is formed in the upper edge of the head 10 of the bracket 7. In the lower branch 15. there are fuel-supply ports 18 Which are normally positionedv Within the contour of the hoods 6. The upper branch 15a terminates in a depressed end 2O which may be carried through the end door 19 of' the stove; or, if desired, the end door 19 may be removed, and a special closure, having an opening adapted to receive the end 20, may be provided. The latter expedient renders unnecessary, ay mutilation of the door 19 of the stove; but Fig. l will serve to illustrate both of the arrangements above referred to. The exposed end'of the portion 20 of the fuel-supply pipe is connected With a source of These openings upper edge of the head of the air receptacle, the,y bracket, as clearly shown in Fig. 3, beingfuel-supply, lindicated at 21, and v 'ceptacle 1. lnthis layer of ashes, below, but upon both s idesof the branch of thetuel' a suitable valve 26 is -provided, tor controlling the supply of fue' A plurality o it there being one detlector for each of the"V hoods 6. the dedectors being denoted lay-fthe- .numeral 22, and preferably flat, horizontally disposed disks, slidably mounted upon'the upper branch 1 5 ot the by means oit arched. sus- 23, embracingthe branch I15a o fthe fuel-supply pipe. The slidable mounting of the deflect-ors upon the branch 15 ofthe fuel supply pipe permits these deension members Hectors tobe moved longitudinally of the branch 15E', and likewise permits them to be swung'circumterentially of the branch 15,

thelatter adjustmentot the d eiiectors servtodirect the -products .of combustion emanating from the hoods 6, either toward the front or toward the rear of the stove.

In practical' operation,l presupposing that the parts arepositioned as shown in Figfl,

the Jfuel-supply pipe 14 is slid in the direc tion of' the.- arrow X, until the uelsupply ports 18are disposed outside of the hoods 6. As shown' in Fig. 4, a thin layer ot ashes, or like `material, denoted by the numeral 24, may be placed upon the top 2 of the air resupply pipe,"trou hs 25 may be formed.
